Craigslist workaround?

    OK, maybe I'm just spinning my wheels here, but I'm determined to do all I can to try and find some type of workaround that will allow me to use Craigslist to promote my BANS sites. Here's the relevant language in the CL TOS:

    Again I'm not talking about posting affiliate links in CL posts, but merely posting links to my BANS sites. Anyone have any good ideas on how to work around this?

    Back in the day I would include an email in my post. When someone would email me, an autoresponder would take over and provide them with a link to my site.

    That's not a bad idea. I'll look into that.

    That's still against their TOS, as it contains nothing but affiliate links.

    I did the email thing the other day, the guy got mad and said "oh the old bait-and-switch."

    So when you follow Craigslist TOS, you wind up with irritated potential customers. Can't say I blame them, though.

    Lol, it's funny when non-imer's catch on to things like that. Just like they catch on to zip and email submits.

    I like this term "You agree not to post, email, or otherwise make available Content"

    So wtf kind of wide open bs term is that, "...make available content..." That's the kind of term all the scum bags include so they can terminate you for no reason whatsoever.
